The Inner Circle Audiobook

" This is an interesting story, but it doesn't really go anywhere. I couldn't put it down until about half way through. Now I only have about a fourth of it left, but I just don't care what happens. Because nothing really happens. It's just a story about this man's experience in Kinsey's world...which is interesting on it's own. "

" Two stars for everything sex. "

" a very interesting book - albeit strange at times. "

" One of my favorite books. I can't recommend it more. "

" Really liked this book. The interaction and relationships between the characters is great, as is the story itself. I mean, who doesn't love a good book about sex research?! "

" I am glad I read this book to have a better understanding of Dr. Kinsey. However, the book got on my nerves because I did not like the characters. "

" Fresh on the heels of his bestselling Drop City, Boyle's tenth novel features fabulous characters, a rollicking plot, and more sex than pioneering researcher Dr. Alfred Kinsey ever dreamed of documenting. I liked Drop City. "

" Started off well but I lost my sympathy for the characters, so that the book felt bleak instead of richly dark. Really good language sometimes, so I'm upping its stars from 2 to 3. "

" Of an assistant to an obsessive sex researcher and science vs love. Interesting enough as a fictional story for a second read "

" Historical novel about the life of Dr. Alfred Kinsey and his research on human sexuality. I'm still in shock !! I don't know what to say...I loved this book ! Read it and tell me if I'm normal ! "

" I loved Tortilla Curtain so I sought out another book by T.C. Boyle. This book was not as good for me, but the characters were just as developed. Overall it was a good book but the whole sex triangle was a little weird for my taste. "

" Great author, fascinating subject, simple shocks, magnetic prose. "

" B Fictional story of Kinsey--okay, but almost too unrealistic for even fiction "

" so well-written, so squarely positioned in moral gray-space: problematic, intriguing, and really engrossing. It's about Kinsey, his research, the development of the Institute of Sex Research, and the lives and troubles of the men who worked for him. Highly, highly recommended. "

" Didn't love it or hate it. It was just a story. "

" An interesting read about a group of researchers cataloging the sexual behavior of American populace in the 1940's. The author very sensitively deals with the inter-personal relationships played out between this small group "

" This book had its moments, but otherwise it was pretty boring. Man, T.C., you are either so on or so off. "

" Slightly interesting, more than I wanted to know. "

" Not my favorite of his books. "

" I think TC Boyle is an astonishinly talented storyteller. I like this better than The Women (the FL Wright one). It would be a good bookgroup companion to Meg Worlitzer's The Position. "

" A fictional story of what it might have been like to have been part of Kinsey's research. Explores the difference between the objectively scientific and subjective reality. "

" This book was a portrait of the people involved in the Kinsey research of the 1940s and 1950s. Who knew that they had this much fun back then? Who cares about boundaries? A great book in the historical fiction oeuvre of T. C. Boyle. "

" One of the things I like about T.C. Boyle's books is that I generally learn a good bit while being vastly entertained. "

" TCB's way of writing is mind boggling.. it's so creative and interesting. It was definitely a memorable novel. He does an amazing job of making the story so believable. "

" Fantastic read. I love this author! One of my 2010 finds. "

" Interesting fictionalized entryway into the Kinsey inner circle. Got a bit bored about 2/3 of the way through, but glad I stuck with it. "
